We are people who see hundreds of faces every day and whose names are remembered by few.

We are givers of emotional labour and patience. 

We are takers of your emotional abuse and your change.

We go home to aches and pains in our bodies from our shifts.

We are living paycheque to paycheque in small apartments.

We have forfeited our weekends and holidays for better tips.

We are carers.

We are meaning-makers.

We are important.

You need us to survive,

We need each other.

We make your coffee.
